The 2022 Armenian protests (also known as the Resistance Movement; Armenian: Դիմադրության շարժում, romanized: Dimadrut’yan sharzhum) were a series of anti-government protests in Armenia that started on 5 April 2022. The protests continued into June 2022, and many protesters were detained by police in Yerevan. Protestors demanded Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan resign over his handling of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. On 14 June 2022, the opposition announced their decision to terminate daily demonstrations aimed at toppling Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan after failing to achieve popular support.
